Auction | Lamborghini Gallardo LP600 GT3

Blancpain is proud to be associating with classicdriver.com and RM Auctions in supporting the Monaco Association Against Muscular Dystrophy (AMM).

Blancpain, classicdriver.com and RM Auctions are delighted to announce the offering of the 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP600 GT3 Racing Car, chassis 09825, at RM’s upcoming Monaco sale, May 12 at the Grimaldi Forum.

What better location than Monaco could host this event.

The Lamborghini on offer is the racing car in which Blancpain President and CEO, Marc A. Hayek, won the 2011 Amateur-Class championship in the ADAC GT Masters Series. 100 percent of proceeds from the vehicle’s sale, including auction commissions, will be donated to AMM in its fight against Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Built for competition by the Lamborghini Motorsport Department Reiter Engineering (DEU), this model Gallardo LP600 GT3 competed during the 2011 season in the Blancpain Endurance Series and in the ADAC GT Masters. Piloted by Marc A. Hayek and Peter Kox, it competed on some of Europe’s most prestigious race tracks including the Autodromo Nazionale Monza (ITA), Silverstone (UK), Spa- Francorchamps (BEL) and Höckenheim (GER). It was indeed on the legendary Höckenheim circuit that Marc A. Hayek was crowned the 2011 amateur champion at the final of the ADAC GT Masters.
